Console Wars

Explaining the joke. by Vaughn Smith

Another dig at the old PS2 and all of it's "unworking" parts that cause it to DRE every 5 minutes. That's exactly what I thought of when I heard about the new slim PS2's. "They just took out all of the parts that didn't work properly.

I guess I should have replaced the old PS2 with the new slim PS2 in the comics created after this, but I just didn't have the heart. I'm getting up there in age and have friends that are being replaced and "phased out" by younger employees who will work cheaper (and perhaps faster, but without the years of experience) and it just didn't feel right to dump the old PS2, even with all of it's "unworking" parts. Maybe it was my way of making a point, to say that there is still room for the mature workers among us. Either that or I had already created the transparent images of the old PS2 and didn't want to bother with creating new ones for the slim one.

Things to note:

Someone emailed me because they took exception to the sentence "Come on...you the African model?"

The line "The Xbox will use you to clean out the crap between his air vents!" is a pretty great visual.
